  • I hope after the sleep uproar calms down you get to enjoy your time online again. I don't envy the amount of either uninformed or strangely aggressive vitriol you're receiving. You're doing great!
    I was in the top 250 as of filling out the tiering survey but I tilted a bunch and am way lower. Is there any way to update the survey?

    nah you can keep it, already tabulating results
    Just writing to you to thank (though more for the general council) for actually pushing against Sleep Mod Clause as the status quo. I remember posting abt it and getting shit on a while ago in the thread, happy that the opposite is now true.

    hopefully the survey support is good
    Hey friend, love your YouTube and Twitter content. Anyway, will there ever be any "official" Smogon draft leagues, with the rising popularity of the format? Sort of like SPL version of a draft league

    not an official troophy tour but they have their own official draft circuit

    Thanks for the quick response. I think it'd be so cool if you did a draft league and posted content for it on your YouTube channel! Love your stuff man.

    we'll see, very short on time lately sadly
    Hi Finchinator, just wanted to make you aware that a friend and I did some math on Sucker Punch that I thought might interest you--we found that in a 1v1 situation where both mons can KO, the Sucker Punch user will win 89% of the time if they use the optimal strategy, with no possible counterplay. Here's the thread.
    thanks so finch, i couldn't have done it w out u. also will pm u something as i need ur advice.
    Hey I just realized I forgot to add something to the latest survey - specifically booster energy I think should be looked at (I think I've said this since the start of gen9 but idr)

    that's all, thanks for your hard work
    Man I wish I had a deeper knowledge of the current OU meta because I see they're arguing the kokoloko method and as one of the OGs I kinda want to comment to clear some misconceptions but I dunno if it'd add much to the discussion :\

    Thanks for the support!! I'll try to gather my thoughts and see if I can come up with something meaningful from a tiering philosophy to actually contribute to the topic.
    Is there any consideration for re-suspecting Tera, or creating a separate non Tera OU ladder (Like what scald). I personally very much don’t enjoy Tera, and would like to have the opportunity to play without it outside limited games.

    The scald ladder and other splinter ladders have all been pretty big failures. Splintering a playerbase creates confusion and limits the sample on both ends

    In general, this is a convention virtually everyone in tiering capacity has wanted to avoid ever since the last one and making the same mistake would not be good.

    Okay, I could see the benefits as Tera is compared to scald such a fundamental game changer, and I think trying a split ladder, if just for perhaps a limited time could be worth considering, I see why you wouldn’t want to
    What set makes kyruem potentially up for discussion? Could it be specs or dragon dance with aurora veil?
    Finchinator
    Finchinator
    Specs is very, very strong and Dragon Dance (even without the same array of tools it previously had) can still be very polarizing. Switchins are just limited and it is not always easy to pin down the set. Also, some scary good defensive Tera applications
    What would be your opinion on Lugia being in OU? Since Generation 8, it lost Toxic and Defog which means it can't do much as a support pokemon. It has Calm Mind and Recover so you could in theory attempt to sweep, but Ghold and Kingambit have such a good matchup into Lugia, as well as Unaware Clefable being easily able to take hits from Lugia. However, it does get Earth Power so I'm unsure.

    I think it can be discussed at a later date, but for now it is best to focus the most on OU
